Argentinean medias reported on May 21, 2008 that in San Carlos, state of Salta, Argentina, two men, mechanics Walter Lopez and Omar Ferlatti, claimed they saw a small glowing humanoid being or a little man wearing shining trousers, a 0.40 meters tall being, which is said to have been protected by "a magnetic field."
The two men reported the incident to the local police who, according to the media, stated that their stories match with that of a shepherdess who reported a similar encounter in the hills.
Two illustrations of the "little man" appeared without more information, one showing a character who seems to be not quite credible doodle of some sort of little human, the other an alleged computer reconstitution of a quite different head but also quasi human.

WEIRDCaused panic in ArgentinaAppearance of a "little man that glows" in SaltaResidents of the town of San Carlos claim they saw a strange being about 40 centimeters tall, with a magnetic field that impeached approach. Two people, mechanics Walter Lopez and Omar Ferlatti, informed the police about the sighting of the diminutive creature whom they described in detail: the being was small, wearing pants and glowing. It appeared it held a magnetic field that protected him. This incident increased the collective fear of the residents of this community of the Valles Chalchaquies even further, as in recent days, a luminous object was seen in the vicinity of their town. "Kids aren't going out at night out of fear of the strange creature and the UFO," said a resident of San Carlos in a statement to the Copenoa news agency. According to the latter, Ferlatti and Lopez's account dovetails with the one given by a shepherdess on the hill, who was startled by the strange visitor. The police stated that both stories coincide and that local residents are indeed frightened. "It hasn't been seen again. It would be good for it to come back, to ascertain that the events were indeed as described," said deputy sheriff Luis Comenares. Source: May 21, 2008 (MU,eg) |

SALTA – Aliens in San Carlos?Thursday, May 22, 2008. Residents of the town of San Carlos in the province of Salta claim having seen a strange entity, standing some forty centimeters tall, and seemingly protected by a magnetic field. The story given by Omar Ferlatti, who saw the strange being, is brief and startling due to the certainty of the details offered on the strange unexpected visitor's physiognomy. Ferlatti was in the company of Walter Lopez when they reported the strange entity's presence. The residents' story coincides with the account given by a shepherdess from Valles Chalchaquies. The shepherdess was startled by the strange visitor while attending her sheep. A news team from the Copenoa news agency is interviewing residents of San Carlos. These will be issued in video format and will surprise viewers with accounts of UFOs witnessed in this historic community, nestled in the Valles Chalchaquies of the Province of Salta. |
The agency has a link to a video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUPUyb_vRyQ supposed to be a reconstitution of the being:

There is no information on the conditions of realization, it is not known if it was done from testimonies or approved by witnesses.
On the sound track of the video, an unditentied voice seems to speak about the incident. It is unfortunately not possible to me to give a transcription and a reliable translation of that. The sound file is:

Appareance of a "little man that glows" in Salta causes panic among the peopleSalta seems to be again the place of strange events: now, in the village of San Carlos, residents claimed to have seen a strange being about 40 centimeters tall with a magnetic field that he prevented to approach. Two men, mechanic Walter Lopez and Omar Ferlatti, told local police about their encounter with the little creature; which they described in detail: it was a little being, dressed in shining pants, seeming to hold a magnetic field that protected him. This incident further heightened the collective fear of the residents of Valles Calchaquies, who in recent days saw a strange luminous object near their village. "The kids are not going out at night," a resident of San Carlos told the Copenoa News Agency. Apparently, the story of Ferlatti and Lopez agrees with the one of a shepherdess who was in the hill and was surprised by the strange visitor. The police stated that there is agreement in the versions and that the people of that population are scared. "It was not seen again. If it returned it would be good to see what it actually was", said deputy sheriff Luis Comenares. Source: (MINUTO UNO) |
To me, in the current state of affairs, it is not possible to decide: a hoax, a confusion, a real close encounter of the third kind?
